R ESCHEDULING U NCOMPLETED W ORK

Discussion

Projects do not always proceed according to plan. If work has not been completed on time, you can reschedule the uncompleted work for another date. You can manually reschedule the work by splitting a task, or you can let Microsoft Project reschedule the uncompleted work for you.

When Microsoft Project reschedules a task, it reschedules uncompleted work after the status date or a date you specify. You can let the program reschedule uncompleted work for the entire project or for selected tasks only.

If you use the status date to reschedule work, you can use the Calculation page in the Options dialog box to choose how rescheduled work that is completed should be treated. Work completed after the status date can be moved back to the status date and work completed before the status date can be moved forward to the status date.

NOTE

If you use the status date to reschedule work for a specific task, you can select the task and use the Reschedule uncompleted work option on the Update Project dialog box. If you do not want Microsoft Project to split tasks that are partially complete, you can disable the Split in-progress tasks option on the Schedule page of the Options dialog box.
